Hi Elaine I read "Afterwards" by Rosamund Lupton last year. It was about two people who had been badly burnt in a fire. But I found it hard to take seriously as it had them floating about in out of body experiences watching what was going on in the real world. I could not get over the thought of all these people wandering about and maybe hooking up with the wrong person. I am sorry if this sounds flippant, but there it was. Pele
